The smallest Brown dwarf yet discovered has been observed by astronomers at the European Southern Observatory (ESO). Brown dwarfs are bodies smaller than our sun but many times the size of Jupiter and are often referred to as "failed suns" inasmuch as there was not enough matter present during their formation so as to initiate hydrogen fusion. Yet, at the same time, these objects are much more massive than Jupiter and produce energy as the result of gravity- induced contraction. The brown dwarf discovered by ESO, known as TWA-5 B, has a mass of between 15 - 40 times that of Jupiter which places it near the borderline between planets and brown dwarfs.

The ISS is a heck of a hard target to image. I definitely have a ton of respect for that shot!

I agree about the attack attitude. People having to advertise how much they think they know at the expense of others all in all its pretty lame. It's just amazing in a bad way. So I can just leave and I will. Thanks for the post though.
